Small companies are built out of a passion and a need. While I can't say that staying up late at night welding components is my passion, it is a relaxing alternative to sitting in front of the television like so many others do at night. The passion is cars. Ever since acquiring my first car from my Scoutmaster at age 14, I have been nonstop with rebuilding, buying, selling, modifying, racing and just brainstorming about the next project. At the time of this writing I own 14 cars ranging from a 1958 Jaguar XK150 FHC to my 1972 Porsche 914 V8. My favorites long retired were the early Scirocco, the Bugeyes, the Datsun 510, the Mazda rotary powered 914 and my SCCA GT5/DP Mini. My disease is actually improving...I think.

The need is certainly also there. I am often "lurking" on many of the sports car forums in an attempt to anticipate my customer's needs and produce a product with some appeal to the sports car community. There is certainly a need for cost effective racing tow products. My only delay in getting these to the market is often my available time and, on occasion, finding a willing victim in Houston , TX to let me use their car as a model and test bed for the product.

RennenMetal or "racing metal" is a moonlighting project of mine. This is not my main source of employment. I am an industrial training manager by day, providing fall-arrest training to my company's clients throughout the US and occasionally abroad. My passion and main line occupation is worker safety and safety at heights. This also transfers into safety for the shop, on the track and while towing your sporting automobile. This is how the business was born. As an engineering student in college, I developed the interest in fabrication and picked up the welding and CAD skills. Finally at age 39, I am putting these skills to good use.

My products are all built out of a need. Some are very unique and not available elsewhere and others are similar to products already found in the market. My products are built for safety while still affordable. Shop around and compare. If you don't find the items you need on my site, please email with a sketch and the application and I will see if it is feasible to make a prototype and move into production. If a competitor has a unique product I generally respect their design and certainly stay away from it if there is patent protection. If there is a chance to improve upon their design in making the unit stronger, safer or bring it to market at a much more affordable price, I will do so.

Through the upcoming months you will see many new additions to the site and I will do my best to keep the products coming. Let me know what you are looking for and I will do my best to provide solutions for car enthusiasts everywhere. After all...it's the automobile community that makes up RennenMetal.
